adventurous
lighthearted
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I sought out this book hoping to find something I've been lacking -- fantastical stories about girls like me. While largely disappointing, a few good stories shine through the anthology, and I'm happy to have finally read it.
A lot of the stories felt rushed or had pacing issues, and left me feeling like there should've been *more*. They also went into detail about how the characters transitioned within their world and, save for a few notable exceptions, these asides didn't really add anything and actively took me out of the reading experience.
I see what this series could've been, and I still hope to find that one day.
